Putnam sheriff candidates debate tactics on immigration enforcement

The two candidates for Putnam County sheriff spoke to the Journal News editorial board today, and spent time debating which of them would work more closely with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Neither one believes that the much publicized 287(g) training — provided by ICE to local officers — is the answer. But both made clear they wanted to work closely with ICE to help identify criminal suspects with a questionable immigration status.

287g works and they know it. The gov't wants to appear to be enforcing our immigratiion laws but in reality they are not.

Democratic challenger Kevin McConville faulted the department for not doing further outreach to the immigrant population. He said there was not even a single sign in the immigrant enclave of Brewster/Southeast that addressed DWI or other issues, and promised to reach out through church and civic organizations to develop trust between the sheriff’s office and the community.

Puleeeze - is this yahoo trying to blame the Sheriff for DWI by illegals because they weren't educated by signs in their neighborhood?

I have heard it all.

These are just the kind of sheriff's any town in America does not need....if they refuse to enforce all laws they are not fit to be in law enforcement ! The bleeding heart BS has to stop.

Just goes to show what I've always known, here in NY both parties pander to IAs.
